In the running are: incumbents MindShare and MEC Interaction, both units of WPP Group; Aegis Group’s Carat; Havas’ MPG; and independent Horizon Media, per sources.

Publicis Groupe’s Zenith Media and Omnicom Group’s PHD are out of contention.

Agency and client executives either declined comment or could not be reached.
